Living in the Sydney Aquarium, the same-sex couple built a nest to fostered an egg together. The egg hatched and the two male penguins were more than happy to welcome their yet-to-be-named chick into the world.

Called ‘Sphengic’ for now, an affectionate name given to the chick by well-wishers online by combining his parents’, the baby will remain ungendered and unnamed for the next two months.

This is so pure and wonderful. Penguins are the best creatures ever (and endorsed by me since I picked them as my favourite when a kid) — welcome to the world baby Sphengic ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/Jwo6j0WLyP
